~ trackcastic ~ Leave a comment

Boy oh boy, do we have a bumper edition of TrackCastic for you!

Actual legend CARL LEWIS is on the pod, along with his sprint protege Louie Hinchliffe. Plus, we have special guest Alicia (aka @LissOnTrack) joining us!

We’ve just about recovered from the Paris Diamond League, Alicia was in the stadium to witness 2x World Records and a super-fast men’s 800m.

Jamie & Chris reflect on their freezing cold weekend in Manchester at the British Championships, with all the drama of false starts and falls!

There’s also a look back at the US Olympic Trials and Alicia brings us all the news from the Jamaican Olympic Trials too.

You’ll also hear from Paris-bound Georgia Bell and a very relieved Alastair Chalmers.

Don’t say we don’t spoil you!

Enjoy!

Hello! What a manic month of Athletics we’ve had as the outdoor season is well and truly underway.

5 Diamond Leagues, World Relays, London Marathon, Gotzis, Night of the 10Ks and a whole host of other events already in this Olympic year – and it’s only May!

In our 60th episode, we discuss the strengths of the Irish team, Kevin Mayer’s invite to Rome, 3 World Records and how well the Brits are going in 2024.

So much to take stock of before the Scandi Diamond Leagues and Rome European Championships. Enjoy!

Glasgow put on a show!!

Molly Caudery & Josh Kerr got the home crowd on their feet. Femke Bol & Devynne Charlton set World Records. Belgium & New Zealand had a Champs to remember!

Gabby has all the multi drama from the mixed zone, including interviews with Simon Ehammer and Ken Mullings. Ceri and Chris have all the gossip from stands, whilst Carol & Jamie give their take from watching at home.

So much to discuss and dissect from a wonderful weekend in Scotland for the 2024 World Indoor Athletics Championships, so it’s a nice bumper edition of TrackCastic to fit it all in!

Pal, grab your Irn Bru, Tunnocks & deep fried Mars Bar and enjoy reminiscing about Glasgow 2024.

Thanks for listening!

Happy Champs Eve!

Much like the British team, a small TrackCastic crew has assembled for another in-depth champs preview pod!

Carol, Ceri and Chris chat through the ones to watch in all disciplines ahead of a home World Indoor Championships in Glasgow.

It wouldn’t be TrackCastic without a rant or two, so hear what we think about the proposed changes to the Long Jump and the downright rude non-selection of Guy Learmonth!

So if you’re travelling to Glasgow this week, get listening to this preview pod & you’ll be all set for a fantastic weekend of Athletics.

Enjoy!
